Philly has the staples of cheesesteaks and roast pork. But the Italian food (and pizza), south Asian food (Cambodian, Melanesian, Thai food), sandwiches (hoagies) and the Caribbean food is excellent.. the fusion restaurants that promote creativity is pronounced too.. been to Dallas a few times (a good time), but they have Mexican and bbq that are definitely better then philly. The soul food is a wash, probably have west African spots better then philly..
Itβs true that philly really is nycs little brother. other then cheesesteaks, philly is like them except not as good
